Title: GRAFFITI ON A WALL IN CHICAGO. SUCH WRITING HAS ADVANCED AND BECOME AN ART FORM, PARTICULARLY IN METROPOLITAN AREAS. BLACK ARTISTS ALSO HAVE USED WALLS ON BUILDINGS IN BLACK COMMUNITIES IN CHICAGO TO PAINT OUTDOOR MURALS. THEY FEEL IT IS A MEANS OF SHARING ART WITH PEOPLE IN THE GHETTO WHO DON'T GO TO THE MUSEUMS. THE ARTISTS ALSO HAVE GIVEN PAINTING LESSONS TO COMMUNITY GROUPS BY DECORATING WALLS ON SOME BUILDINGS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES
